Las Associate

About the Company

Our Consultants bring years of leadership experience in the very sectors and functions for which we provide a range of talent advisory services. Our engagement teams are organized to maximize industry and content specialization, along with knowledge sharing across the firm. These client service teams are supported by first-rate Associates, Analysts and Executive Assistants, and backed by state-of-the-art technology. We regularly work with colleagues across geographies, reflecting the international reach of our clients and the realities of the global business environment.

Our Values

As executive search and leadership advisory professionals, we help organizations identify and develop individual leaders and leadership teams who will fit, perform and endure. The insights we bring and the advice we impart have a significant impact on the businesses we serve and on individual lives and careers.

We recognize these responsibilities and take them seriously. We adhere to a code of professional ethics, handling our relationships with clients, executives and colleagues with great care. We offer balanced advice with courage and honesty and treat sensitive information with the utmost respect and discretion.

Above all, we value quality — the quality of the services we provide our clients and the manner in which we navigate our interactions with individual executives and executive teams, whether we have been retained to recruit a senior executive, provide post-merger advisory recommendations or conduct a leadership assessment and development exercise.

Our distinctive culture continues to attract, develop and retain exceptional people to the firm, and we are resolved to continue reaching for the highest standards of professionalism in our work.
